St. Mary's Parish has a long history of reaching out to help others beyond our boundaries. The parish
St. Vincent de Paul Conference was established in 1950. Charity projects such as the
Christmas Giving Tree,
Share A Meal and Pack-A-Back, are but a few of the programs that were added to the parish Community Ministry Outreach in the ensuing decades. By the 1990's we were engaged in direct service at
Sacred Heart Community Services and in ministering to our local homeless in conjunction with St. Luke's Episcopal Church.

Just prior to the new milenium the parish looked to define and broaden their scope on charity, outreach and social justice. We sought to engage in good works of both charity and justice.

Today, we find that our communal energies extend in support of three major categories of social justice work: Outside Organizations, Sister Parish Relationships, and Parish Projects.

The Outreach Commission exists to serve those in need through the work of Parish volunteers who provide work for social justice, and support members of our wider community. This includes our homeless, the American Red Cross, Prayer Shawl Ministry and St. Vincent de Paul Society.

In the Gospels, Jesus challenges his disciples to do His will in feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and loving those left-behind by society. As followers of Christ, our lives would not be fulfilled or authentic if we did not follow Jesus’ commandments to reach out to those in need. In this spirit of love, St. Mary’s Church offers many opportunities for outreach, and we invite all our parishioners to join in this effort.
